GOT A JOB

Don’t talk back to your TV set
the corporate sponsors listen
they know who you are from the internet
and they offer a city that glistens
but don’t think for a minute
they don’t know what’s good for you
it makes you feel secure
makes you feel secure when
Archer Daniels Midland says
we grow enough food to feed the world.

Well don’t take for granted
what they shove in your face
and don’t get sick unless
you’re able to pay
‘cause the health care industry has
congress in its pocket
you trust a politician that can’t pronounce
so-cial- sec-ur-et-y

well guess what-
he’s got a job and you don’t
he’ll eat tonight and you won’t

We travel ‘round the world
in front of TV sets
seeing all sorts of people
living lives without regret
and our brain will burn
things that haven;t even happened yet
and we close our eyes
and we close our minds

a battle at the dinner table
daddy is drunk
out of work and helpless
in a desperate funk
momma weeps into her hands
wondering what she ever thunk
and the television drones on with it’s commercials in the corner.....

Grim but unfortunately real.

but oddly i wrote this during the Clinton Administration.

seemed mighty apt for the times, yet i wish i had a "happy let's get up and go song" handy...

i'll look for one!

The lyrics are excruciatingly right on for where our country is at today. :(

i was goin' for that old Stooges feel.

:applause: My ear calls it something right out of the late sixties. :hippie: Crazy Horse. At times, even like the Stones. Fuck'n EXCELLENT! RIGHT ON :woohoo: Thank you SO much for sharing!
